Uprights, consoles, baby grands - the crew rolls each onto a padded piano board with straps and stair climbers, down the tightest freight elevator or the steepest Queen Anne stoop.
Certain pieces reward technique over raw muscle. Crew chief Tavon Beckett personally handles uprights, baby grands, gun safes, and framed art, working each one through narrow craftsman doorways and downtown freight elevators — skids, pads, and straps set before anything budges.
What Our Piano Crew Handles
Uprights and baby grands taken by stairwell or elevator, whichever the building offers
Safes and gym gear rolled on dollies rated to the weight
Crates built to size for antiques, oversized art, and marble tops
Curio cabinets and grandfather clocks braced against any shift on the truck
Questions, answered
Do you move both uprights and baby grands?
Weekly — spinets, consoles, uprights, baby grands, all of them — each fitted with the skid, padding, and straps that suit its weight and shape.
Can a piano make it out of a narrow craftsman doorway?
Right in Tavon's wheelhouse. Pinched Ballard doorways and downtown freight elevators come up constantly, and the flat rate already reflects them.
Is my piano covered while it's on the truck?
It can be. Opt for full-value protection and the instrument is insured for up to a million dollars per shipment, which is what most owners of a valuable piano choose.
How big is the crew for a piano?
Tavon rolls up with four movers, slips a padded skid under the piano, and straps it tight before it leaves the spot it's sitting in.
Could you move a piano across the house or up to the next floor?
Regularly. Shifting one to the far side of a room or up a level is common, and we quote it flat the same way we would a full move.
How do you price a piano move?
One flat figure agreed before we begin, with stairs, any elevator wait, and the rigging all inside it, so the invoice holds no surprises.

Flat pricing on every Seattle job, quoted before we touch a box - a studio off Broadway, a Queen Anne walk-up, a family place out in Renton, all handled by our own uniformed crew.
Same crew from first box to last, on one written binding number - roll south on I-5 to Portland or east over I-90 to Spokane and your load never switches trucks, never hits a second scale.
Full-house moves, soup to nuts: every piece padded and shrink-wrapped, carried down rain-slick porch steps, then rebuilt and set room by room at the new address.
Capitol Hill walk-ups, downtown high-rises, Eastside condos - we lock in the service elevator, file the building's certificate of insurance, and work inside whatever move-in window the HOA hands us.
One day's notice and the crew wraps the whole house in our own cartons and paper - the kitchen, the closets, the garage - leaving nothing for move day but the walk to the truck.
When your sale and your new place don't sync up, your things ride out the gap in a clean, dry, climate-held space - billed by the week, no long lock-in, no fine print.
Uprights, consoles, baby grands - the crew rolls each onto a padded piano board with straps and stair climbers, down the tightest freight elevator or the steepest Queen Anne stoop.
Rented your own truck, trailer, or pod? Give us the muscle end - we load it tight, brace every piece, and lock it down so nothing shifts on I-5 or the 520 bridge.
Right-sizing a longtime home is its own kind of move; we take it at your pace, label and pad what matters most, and get the new place livable before the truck pulls away.
Offices, storefronts, and South Lake Union suites moved nights or weekends so business never stops - inventoried, labeled, and set down to match your new floor plan.
Plans fall apart - a closing jumps, a lease ends Friday. We keep same-day and next-day slots in reserve and roll a real TicTac crew, never a subcontractor.
The heavy, awkward pieces other crews pass on - a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a commercial treadmill, bulky shop machinery - go on skid boards with straps and stair-climbing rigging and come out whole, even through a pinched bungalow doorway.
Walk us through what is moving and a flat figure comes back quickly — no in-home survey to schedule, no hard-sell phone call, and not a dollar tacked on once the day comes.
A call before the day
A few days out, your dispatcher rings to confirm the window, both addresses, and anything tight about the access — steep Queen Anne steps, a downtown freight elevator, or where the truck can legally sit — so the crew shows up already briefed.
Loading morning
Before anything leaves the house, your crew chief walks every room, lays runners across the floors and thresholds, pads and wraps each piece, then stacks the truck in the order it will come back off.
At the new place
Cartons land in the right rooms, whatever we broke down gets built back up, and if the empties are the last thing you want to deal with, they leave with the truck.
A final walk-through
We loop through the place with you to be sure it all landed where you wanted, and the number on the paperwork is the number you pay — not a cent past it. Welcome home.
Fair pricing and a crew that shows up
